Me, I have a disease which is kinda wiping out my connective tissue over time, which includes those lovely soft discs in my spine, dammit. Biggest current issue with that is that it’s getting harder and harder to sit at my desk for more than ~15min without lower back pain ratcheting up…
So I was wondering if anyone here with lower back issues has found a chair that helped them sit?
From L-R, T-B, chair #2 is a saddle chair, which looks kinda interesting. Chair #4 is one I used to have, which seemingly tries to keep the spine perfectly straight-up, but it was also hell on my knees.
Now, chair #3 kinda looks like a Star Trek-style bumper-car that I’d want to ride in my very last visit to an amusement park. 😄

I’ve had lumbar pain from bad chairs in the past, but nothing medically diagnosed (so bear that in mind, your situation might be a lot more serious).
For the past years I’ve been using a Secret Lab chair, and it’s been wonderful. I usually tilt it so it allows me to distribute the weight across my back and not on top of my lumbar, probably not really ergonomic but I haven’t experienced any problems with it.
That being said if I needed to get a new chair it wouldn’t be a secret lab, as much as I like it and I think it’s built like a tank and will last me forever, the lack of a way to limit the tilting is very annoying for my use case.
